Hard drive management system and method thereof with network authentication function

Abstract

A hard drive management system and a method thereof with network authentication function are provided. The system includes a wireless router and a solid-state drive. The wireless router stores a key. The solid-state drive includes a storage module, a wireless network module and a control module. The storage stores the encrypted data. The wireless network module connects with the wireless router, and the wireless router receives the key. The control module electrically connects with the storage module and the wireless network module. The control module encrypts the source data to form the encrypted data according to the key of the wireless network module and stores the encrypted data in the storage module, or retrieves the encrypted data from the storage module and restores the encrypted data to form the source data according to the key.

 a control module electrically connected to the storage module and the wireless network module, the control module encrypting source data to form the encrypted data according to the key of the wireless network module and then storing the encrypted data in the storage module, or retrieving the encrypted data from the storage module and restoring the encrypted data to form the source data according to the key. 
   
     
     
         2 . The hard drive management system with network authentication function of  claim 1 , wherein the control module comprises a timer producing time information about the wireless network module connecting with the wireless router. 
     
     
         3 . The hard drive management system with network authentication function of  claim 2 , further comprising an electronic device receiving the time information of the timer and transmitting a stop signal to the wireless network module according to the time information, and the control module stopping restoring the encrypted data to form the source data according to the stop signal. 
     
     
         4 . The hard drive management system with network authentication function of  claim 1 , further comprising an electronic device, and the control module transmitting a self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology (SMART) to the electronic device through the wireless network module. 
     
     
         5 . The hard drive management system with network authentication function of  claim 1 , wherein the control module stores a predetermined login password, and the wireless network module logins and then connects to the wireless router according to the predetermined login password. 
     
     
         6 . The hard drive management system with network authentication function of  claim 1 , wherein the storage module comprises a NAND flash memory and a DDR memory. 
     
     
         7 . A hard drive management method with network authentication function adapted to a solid-state drive, the solid-state drive comprising a storage module, a wireless network module and a control module, and the hard drive management method comprising:
 logging in a wireless router by the wireless network module;   receiving a key from the wireless router and transmitting the key to the control module; and   encrypting source data to form encrypted data according to the key and storing the encrypted data in the storage module, or reading the encrypted data in the storage module and restoring the encrypted data to form the source data according to the key.   
     
     
         8 . The hard drive management method with network authentication function of  claim 7 , further comprising storing a predetermined login password in the control module, and the wireless network module logging in and then connecting with the wireless router according to the predetermined login password. 
     
     
         9 . The hard drive management method with network authentication function of  claim 7 , wherein the control module comprises a timer. 
     
     
         10 . The hard drive management method with network authentication function of  claim 9 , further comprising time information produced by the timer about the wireless network module connecting with the wireless router. 
     
     
         11 . The hard drive management method with network authentication function of  claim 10 , further comprising an electronic device receiving the time information of the timer and transmitting a stop signal to the wireless network module according to the time information, and the control module stopping restoring the encrypted data to form the source data according to the stop signal. 
     
     
         12 . The hard drive management method with network authentication function of  claim 10 , further comprising an electronic device receiving the time information of the timer and transmitting the stop signal to the wireless network module according to the time information, and the control module stopping encrypting the source date to form the encrypted data according to the stop signal.
